The LP compressor has six stages. The first two stages comprise the fan section, and have a larger diameter than the remaining four stages. Approximately 47% of the fan stage discharge air goes into the main engine intake, the remaining 53% is discharged into an annular duct. 1, record 1, English, - annular%20duct

Le cycle de Rankine est à la base des machines utilisant la vapeur d’eau dans les centrales thermiques et nucléaires, il comprend : deux isobares BP et HP, deux isentropes(Q=0). Le cycle de la vapeur d’eau est une suite de transformations dans des systèmes ouverts successifs(chaudière, turbine, condenseur et pompe d’alimentation...). L'énergie emmagasinée dans les combustibles fossiles ou nucléaires est convertie en travail mécanique pour entraîner soit une turbine(centrales T + N) soit un moteur à piston(locomotives à vapeur...). Le processus comprend la vaporisation de l'eau, la détente de la vapeur dans la turbine et sa condensation dans un condenseur. Si ce cycle de Rankine est modifié par une surchauffe de la vapeur à la sortie de la chaudière on l'appelle alors cycle de Hirn. 2, record 2, French, - cycle%20de%20Rankine

La turbine, entraînée par la détente de la vapeur du circuit secondaire, est composée d’un corps haute pression(HP) et de plusieurs corps basse pression(BP). L'alternateur fournit le courant électrique, qui est dirigé sur le réseau de transport. Quand on parle d’une centrale «900 mégawatts»(MW) ou de «1300 MW», on se réfère à la puissance électrique disponible en sortie de l'alternateur. 3, record 3, French, - groupe%20turbo%2Dalternateur
